Karishma Kapoor on Her Book "My Yummy Mummy Guide"

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor launched her book 'My Yummy Mummy Guide' on pregnancy and motherhood on recently. She says it is for desi mothers.



"We don't have an Indian take on pregnancy and motherhood. I felt that this will be something that Indian mothers will be able to relate to," Karisma said.

The 39-year-old has written about everything related to pregnancy and childbirth. The book also gives tips on how to lose post pregnancy fat.

A mother of two - seven-year-old daughter Samaira and two-year-old son Kiaan, Karisma says just like any other woman she too has to balance work and home.

"I am also a normal person and a normal woman. I have the same feelings and emotions that other mothers go through. It is all about priority, if you know your priorities, you can do anything," she said.

She did have guilt pangs when she left her children and stepped out to work.

"I felt the guilt every single day. When you have to leave your children at home, you do feel guilty. But if your work also makes you happy, then you must work. A happy mom equals to happy children," said the actress who was married to Delhi based businessman Sanjay Kapur.

She admits that raising children is not easy and a mother can go through a certain level of frustration.

"We all feel frustrated, but we have to continue to teach our kids. Don't get angry with them rather explain things to them. It is very important to be a friend to your child," she said.

Talking about how to keep fit post pregnancy, she said: "It is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat what you want, but in small quantities."

Here's how Sonakshi dropped all the extra weight to be catapulted to fame with her grand entry to B-Town in Dabangg, opposite Salman Khan. What few know is the effort it took for her to light up the big screen. A few years ago, at 90 kgs Sonakshi was more than just overweight. While studying fashion designing, however, she realised that she needed to lose at least one-third of her weight, not just to look good but also to feel healthy. Here's the routine Sonakshi started on in her bid to drop the excess baggage: - She began visiting the gym twice a day. - She started on a high protein diet. - She cut back on her carbohydrate consumption. - She experienced immense benefits from spinning. - She included weight training in her regular fitness regime, working at it four to five times a week....

John Abraham's Diet and Workout Regime Pre and Post Force

Post his beefed-up look in Force, John Abraham works out just as hard to tone down his mega muscles and sport a lean, mean, fighting machine look. This is how he’s doing it John Abraham's Force Look While John Abraham has always had one of the best bodies in Bollywood, gearing up to be the bulked up fighting machine in Force took superhuman effort. The actor had eight months to beef up for the film and then had to return to his normal body size immediately after for his next project. This extreme change was overseen by his trainer Vinod Channa, who monitored his diet every day and varied John’s workouts to suit him. It was no easy task. John talks about the rigours he put his body through, “I’ve grown up as a lean kid and I like the element of size. I weighed about 85-86 kilos before Force. I went up to 96 and now I weigh in at about 86. In terms of fitness, I can’t benchmark myself against anyone in this industry.” John’s body type is ecto-mesomorph (long limbs, good enduran...

Bhumika Chawla's Diet

I begin my day with a cup of tea or fresh fruits like papaya, apples and banana. Breakfast I leave my house at six in the morning for my shoot so I eat at the location itself. My assistant makes breakfast for me. If I am in a mood for continental food I have a breakfast comprising eggs, cornflakes, porridge, fruits and hot milk with honey. When in Hyderabad, at times, I opt for an idli sambhar with a glass of juice for breakfast. Lunch I order lunch on the sets. I prefer to have a vegetarian lunch. Sabzi, dal and roti. I must have salad with my lunch and I must end my meal with a bowl of curds. When shooting in Mumbai, I eat a heavy breakfast and a light lunch. I normally avoid takeaways. In the south it is different, as the tiffin is like food made at home. I am a chappati person, I have rice just once or twice in a month. The evening tiffin In the South it is idlis, vadas and a variety of dosas. But I prefer to eat fruits and drink some coconut water. Dinner I eat dinner at 8.30 pm a...
